Well I would love to read this tutorial when it is done, being that I have
absolutely _NO_ programming or plug-in making experience.  But, I would have
a blast making plug-ins for EVN, so I hope it turns out good!!

> A website has been set up at the following address:

> 
> Forums have also been set-up

> There are two main tutorial sections: the resource tutorials and "practical"

> Currently, the following resources are being worked on: gövt, mīsn, oütf,
> shīp, spöb, wëap + düde, flët and përs (and possibly Jünk) + chär, nëbu,
> ränk, röid, and dësc + PICT/rlë8/rlëD, and spīn/shän. The remaining
> resources are (non-critical resources are in brackets): bööm, (cicn), cölr,
> crön, īntf, öops, snd , spöb, STR#, s˙st, (vers), wëap.

> If you would like to help with the resources, please follow the following

> 
> - Make sure you're explaining them for the NovaTools!
> - It must be written in a clear, easy-to-understand manner.
> - Make sure to have other people proof-read the document for accuracy of
> information, spelling & grammar, clarity, etc.,  and also have them offer
> you suggestions and ideas.
> - Use examples and links wherever necessary.
> - Keep in mind that your words will be displayed next to the screenshots
> (The entire window on the top of the page, and possibly screenshots of each
> of the grouped [boxed] fields).
> - At the bottom of the page, please provide the list of links to other
> related areas (for example, a shän resource page may link to dësc, PICT,
> snd, rlë8, rlëD, shīp, etc., as well as any other external tutorials such as
> a "how to create ships" tutorial.
> 
> It would be great if you could (in the forums) point out some helpful links.
> 
> As a side note, some people might be interested in EVNEP, a community based
